Tony has commented more than once that I am working in my own shadow when I am at my cutting table, no matter if I have the ceiling light on or if I'm relying on daylight. There really isn't a better way to arrange my room to allow more light on to the table so I have just muddled along. Recently he bought himself a great light for his own work table in his play room and he thought it would work out just fine on my cutting table, so he purchased a second and gave it to me as an early birthday gift. (It's my birthday tomorrow on the fifth), but he gave me the lamp last week.
I have to say it is pretty good. It really doesn't take up much space.
It all works with the tap of a finger tip, I can dim or brighten it as desired, I can even set it on auto and it will decide how bright it needs to be!
You can see the difference it makes here as I prepare to construct some more Churn Dash blocks. I have such a lovely thoughtful husband.
I have only made two blocks so far this month, hopefully I can get more done over the weekend I have all of the pieces cut, I just need to find time to put them together.

The fabric I ordered to bind Edyta's Garden is way too bright, so I'll have to go on a wee shopping spree and see if I can find something else. Maybe tomorrow, I'm off out for a birthday lunch with some colleagues, I'm sure they will indulge me and let me shop too. LOL

That's all my news. Have a happy weekend.

Happy Birthday Lou, have a great lunch with your colleagues
Hope you had a great birthday 🥳 and a great gift Tony bought you…
Yes, Loulee, your hubby is a keeper. Good lighting is essential to good stitching esp. in my case with old eyes. LOL Anyway, your quilting in the last post worked out in the end and these churn dash are lovely looking. A very Happy Birthday to you today!
Great to have a good light. It makes such a difference.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday.
What a great gift, he is def a keeper, and hope you had a great birthday celebration.
Good lighting makes such a difference. Mick installed a light under the little shelf over my cutting table when we rejigger my sewing room. It is great. I’m sure your friend indulged you wit some shopping, it was your birthday after all.

Kind regards Marika
